Bowers & Wilkins HTM71 S2 Centre Speaker

HTM71 S2 Centre channel speaker

A large high-performance centre channel speaker, featuring two dedicated bass drivers and an FST™ Continuum™ cone midrange.

Uncompromising vocal performance

Designed to be paired with larger speakers in the range, this three-way centre channel speaker delivers unprecedented power and transparency, for totally convincing voice reproduction.

Sharper detail

Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminium double dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.

Truly amazing sound

Voices and instruments are delivered with purity and precision, thanks to the smooth, accurate Continuum™ cone midrange driver.

A triumph of science

Developed using advanced computer modeling techniques, the Aerofoil™ Profile bass cone has variable thickness, providing stiffness and rigidity where it’s needed most. The result: deep and dynamic bass.
